Import Tips
• Architectural tubing often requires anodizing finish documentation; declare as extruded tube, not profile if hollow
• Check if T5 or T6 temper affects classification; remains 7608.20.00 regardless of heat treatment
• Bulk shipments need proper strapping/packaging declarations to prevent damage claims
